Easter Sunday: Love Has the Last Word

Written By Mike Yager

Resurrection is far more than an abstract promise of distant reward, it is a new way of seeing and being in the world today. At a time in which many “Christian” voices are anything but Christ-like, may the light of Jesus’ new day transform judgement and condemnation into ever-expanding embrace. There’s a seat for ALL at the table of grace. Halleluiah, He is risen indeed!

Scripture & Quotations

  • 1 Corinthians 15:3-8

  • John 20:1-16

  • “Resurrection is always announced with Easter lilies, the sound of trumpets, bright streaming light. But it did not happen that way. If it happened in a cave, it happened in complete silence, in absolute darkness, with the smell of damp stone and dug earth in the air… new life starts in the dark. Whether it is a seed in the ground, a baby in the womb, or Jesus in the tomb, it starts in the dark.”

    - Barbara Brown Taylor, Learning to Walk in the Dark: Because Sometimes God Shows Up at Night

  • “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”

    - CS Lewis
